tcast E Channel ‘From One to Ten’

On ‘From One to Ten’, ten mystery cases that shook the world were unveiled, giving viewers chills.

In the tcast E Channel broadcast of ‘From One to Ten’ on the 1st, ‘Knowledge Arena MC’ Jang Sung-kyu and Kang Ji-young dug into ten bizarre and shocking cases from around the world under the theme ‘Goosebumps alert! Mystery cases more brutal than fiction’. Following lingering questions, assorted conspiracy theories, and fragments of truth hidden behind them, the show delivered hair-raising tension and intense immersion to viewers.

First place went to the ‘Nepal royal family massacre’, which precipitated the collapse of a 240-year monarchy. In 2001, Crown Prince Dipendra, first in the line of succession, opened fire, annihilating King Birendra and the royal family, then took his own life. Public anger exploded over corruption and wrongdoing by Gyanendra after he took the throne, and ultimately the Nepalese monarchy came to an end after 240 years. However, as for the background, only hypotheses remainsuch as “a tragedy sparked by opposition to the marriage of the crown prince” and “instigation by Gyanendra”and the truth remains shrouded in fog.

Second place was the ‘Shinjuku BJ murder case in Japan’, which occurred during a live broadcast watched by 6,500 people. Airi Sato, a popular Japanese internet streamer, was killed during a live broadcast by Kenichi Tagano, who had been a fan. It later emerged that Sato had borrowed about $18,750 (25,000,000 KRW) from Tagano under pretexts such as “I lost my wallet” and “my phone service was suspended”, and when the financially struggling Tagano demanded repayment, she cut off contact and disappeared, sharply reversing public opinion. Jang Sung-kyu could not hide his bitterness, saying it was “using fan devotion to extract money”.

The ‘Miami zombie case’, which shook the world with a cannibalistic crime, was also reexamined. It was a horrific case in which Rudy Eugene, a 31-year-old car wash employee, roamed the streets naked and attacked a homeless man. In particular, because he bit the face of the victim and did not collapse even after being hit by three police bullets, a new type of drug was suspected as the cause. However, an autopsy found no such drug in his system, deepening fear along with remarks that it “cannot be explained unless he was a zombie”. Also revisited was the ‘Susan Powell disappearance case’, which enraged viewers, marked only by suspicious circumstances such as obsessive attachment by the father-in-lawsecretly peeping at his daughter-in-law and stealing her underwearand a huge life insurance policy worth $2,475,000 (3,300,000,000 KRW), before she vanished without a trace.

Other cases included the ‘Mike Mansholt case’, in which a 65 kg son was found as a 16 kg corpse; the ‘Guyana Jonestown massacre’, a slaughter of 918 people carried out by a leader who cried out for salvation; the ‘Cookie Monster theft case’ in Germany, likened to a Hong Gil-dong figure; the ‘Myrtles Plantation haunting’, a cursed haunted house; the Italian counterpart to the Gonjiam case, the ‘Poveglia Island haunting’; and the ‘Russian Dyatlov Pass incident’, bodies found wearing only underwear in a minus 30-degree snowy mountain. These mind-bending stories were laid bare, sending chills through living rooms.

‘From One to Ten’, a biting trivia chart show hosted by Jang Sung-kyu&Kang Ji-young that unveils ten irresistible tidbits of knowledge each week, airs every Monday at 8 p.m. on tcast E Channel.
